This week RMS students headed downtown Detroit to visit the DIA. We had a wonderful tour guide lead us through various parts and explain the different works of art and artifacts to us. He was a great story teller and he was very engaging. We also had some time to roam around and check out some exhibits on our own. Some of the highlights included a real mummy, the Diego Rivera Mural, the Play Ball baseball exhibit, the European table setting, and the knight's apparel and swords.
